Summary:
The Marshalltown Community School District in Iowa is home to 6 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across these schools, with some consistently outperforming the district and state averages, while others struggle to meet these benchmarks.
Franklin Elementary School and J.C. Hoglan Elementary School stand out as the top-performing schools, with high proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as relatively low student-teacher ratios. In contrast, Woodbury Elementary School and Rogers Elementary School have the lowest proficiency rates, often falling well below the district and state averages.
The data also reveals high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across all schools, suggesting a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement. Additionally, the varying levels of spending per student and student-teacher ratios indicate that resource allocation may play a role in a school's academic performance, though the relationship is not always straightforward. These findings highlight areas where certain schools could benefit from targeted interventions or additional support to improve their academic outcomes and better serve their student populations.
